Flexible members for use in imaging devices contain a non-ionic surfactant and a fluorinated surfactant.

Endless flexible members for imaging devices

The present teachings provide a fuser member. The fuser member includes a substrate layer comprising a polyamideimide/polybenzimidazole polymer blend. A method of manufacturing the fuser member is described.

Fuser member

A system and apparatus are provided for adhering steering ribs to an intermediate transfer belt (ITB). These steering ribs (one or more) are applied to the ITB by placing the rib material around a cylindrical fixture. The rib material is held in place by a vacuum that is applied to the rib material to hold it against the fixture. An ITB may be separately held in place on the fixture by another vacuum until the rib material is adhered to the inside surface of the ITB through application of compressed air to force the rib material outward against the ITB. Once the rib material is adhered to the ITB, a series of apertures directs compressed air against the rib and the ITB to release them from the fixture.

Intermediate transfer belt steering rib applicator device and method

An intermediate transfer member includes a poly(amic acid amideimide), or a mixture of a poly(amic acid amideimide), a phosphate ester, an optional polysiloxane, and an optional conductive filler component.

Poly(amic acid amideimide) intermediate transfer members

An fluorinated polyester compound is disclosed. The fluorinated polyester compound can be made by combining ingredients comprising a hydroxyl terminated polyphenyl ether; a carboxylic acid terminated perfluoropolyether; an acid catalyst; and a solvent. A coating solution comprising the fluorinated polyester compound and a method of coating a substrate therewith are also disclosed.

Fluorinated polyester compound, coating compositions comprising the compound and methods of making

There is described an intermediate transfer member comprising a seamless layer comprising a polyphenylsulfone and a polysiloxane having dispersed therein carbon black particles. The composition used to manufacture the seamless intermediate transfer member is also described.

Intermediate transfer member and composition

There is disclosed an intermediate transfer member that includes a layer of a polymer blend of polyimide and amino silicone having conductive particles dispersed therein.

Intermediate transfer member

Flexible members for use in imaging devices which may include a non-ionic surfactant; a fluorinated surfactant; or both.

An intermediate transfer belt for an electrostatographic device and methods for making the intermediate transfer belt can include the use of polyamide-imide and carbon nanotubes and nanosheets, for example multi-walled carbon nanotubes, single-walled carbon nanotubes, graphene, graphite, and two or more of these as an electrically conductive filler.

Seamless intermediate transfer belt

Described herein is an intermediate transfer member that includes a layer of phenoxy resin having dispersed therein graphene particles.

An intermediate transfer member, such as a belt, that includes, for example, a supporting substrate, a silane first intermediate layer, and contained on the silane layer a second layer of a self crosslinking acrylic resin; a mixture of a glycoluril resin and an acrylic polyol resin; or a mixture of a glycoluril resin and a self crosslinking acrylic resin.

Intermediate transfer members containing a saline layer and a layer of glycoluril resin and acrylic resin

An intermediate transfer member substrate with an overcoat and a process for preparing the intermediate transfer member substrate with an overcoat layer by application of corona treatment to the surface of the intermediate transfer member substrate to enhance the interfacial adhesion between the overcoat and intermediate transfer member substrate.

Corona treatment for intermediate transfer member overcoat adhesion

A dual layered intermediate transfer member, such as a belt, that includes a substrate that is coated with a layer of a mixture of a glycoluril resin, and a self crosslinking acrylic resin.

Glycoluril resin and acrylic resin dual members

An intermediate transfer member, such as a belt, where the seam or seams thereof on the member contain a coating mixture of a glycoluril resin and a self crosslinking acrylic resin.

Glycoluril resin and acrylic resin members

There is provided a process for producing a seamed, flexible electrostatographic imaging member belt comprising providing a flexible, substantially rectangular, electrostatographic imaging sheet having a first major exterior surface opposite and parallel to a second major exterior surface and a first marginal end region of said sheet opposite and parallel with a second marginal end region; shaping said first marginal end region at an angle to form a first new sloping surface between the first major exterior surface and the second major exterior surface, shaping said second marginal end region at an angle to form a second new sloping surface between the first major exterior surface and the second major exterior surface, wherein the second new sloping surface is substantially parallel with the first new sloping surface; forming the sheet into a loop and overlapping said first new sloping surface with said second new sloping surface to form a mated region; and, joining said first new sloping surface to said second new sloping surface in the mated region to form a thin profile butt-lap seam. The sloping surfaces may be formed using a cutting assembly in accordance with the disclosure.
